Radially sealed with an o-ring that sits inside a groove on the orange component. I didn't include the detail in my power point engineered representation of the orange component.
Thanks for this.. it's a lot more digestible than the textbook.
Appreciate that.. I think this is my best option without overcomplicating things.
Thanks again everyone who spent some time responding to this.
My final question: is calculating thread tearout/material failure due to not enough...
I'm unable to modify the orange part at all. I'm handed a part from a customer and have to create a fixture to seal and pressurize it to validate the integrity of some bonded seals/components not shown in my simplified figures.
The lip on the OD of the orange part is only 0.15" tall. My current concession it to clear that lip vertically then expand out the OD of my part to allow for a much larger material margin between the OD and my tapped hole. I would have a clearance hole in the area with little material on the OD...
Thank you all for the responses. I'm pretty limited on my design options due to customer constraints. I can't make any changes to the orange part; I have to work within the constraints of that component.
My primary concern here is the OD area goutam pointed out tearing out. I am using a 1/2"-13...
Sure, attached is a section view figure of the overall assembly. My part will be fastened to plate with 1/2" clearance holes and a flange face with lip features that define my ID and OD. Screws shown in blue, flange plate in orange and my part grey. The plate will have an oring to seal off the...
Attached is a sketch of what I'm working with. Locked into these dimensions and this overall design-- not looking for advice on the design itself. Primarily looking for how I can determine if I'm treading into dangerous territory of material failure based on material properties, stress on the...
I have to design a fixture that is a roughly a 23" ID tube w/ a 1" WT that will have a tapped bolt pattern around the flat base portion of the tube. I've been trying to find how I can calculate what kind of stress would cause the part to fail. My biggest concern is that I'm aligning with 1/2"...
Thank you for helping me validate that original question. I am just looking for enough validation in simple calcs to ensure I don't need to dig further into this. The bolts can be consumed after the test for all I care.
Orange component is a titanium alloy so it's plenty strong and my fixture...
I agree with everything you stated, and I don't have to use the provided part features, but this is the only feature on this entire part for fastening. I could develop a fixture that clamps onto the customers part, but then I risk damaging/marring it up.
The customer part is a titanium alloy...
I pressure test customer components in the aerospace industry. This test is just to validate a seal (not related to this interface I'm showing). The actual usage of this circumferential bolt pattern is unknown to me, and the pressurization of this part doesn't depict the real use case of this...
I didn't include all the details of the design because it didn't really seem pertinent to my question. There's going to be an o-ring sealing the two parts.
I'm forced in using the orange part with a circumferential bolt pattern and it is not my design. I'm only here asking this question because...
Yea I'm seeing that now.. I'm not using a typical friction joint here and realize the bolts are just being put in bending. And I agree that the shims really aren't going to be doing much for me except reducing any play that may be present.
Thanks for the advice (y)
EDIT:
I've attached a rough...
For fastener shear strength I'm using Grade 8 bolts, so 60% of it's tensile strength which is 90ksi.
Not sure how to go about the part bearing strengths. From what I understand, I would need to consider failure of the bolt and failure of the plates.
For failure of the bolt I can use a simple...
I'm designing a part that will attach to a circumferential bolt pattern, with threaded holes on the mating component. In my attached picture below, the blue components is my part that will have thru holes, the orange component is the mating component with threaded holes, and the grey component...
